Yeah, once you round the tip of the Ise Peninsula and head further west, you'll enter the Seto Inland Sea. That place is an absolute goldmine—merchant ships come and go, there are countless island fortresses, water thieves everywhere, fleets of navies galore. With just the Chita and a few customs ships and kobaya boats, it'd be suicide to go poking our nose in there right now—that's not a place New Wanjin can afford to mess with.
Long road ahead, seriously. Wanjin is still pretty weak, still stuck down as a small Daimyo.

Harano himself was personally driving the Wanjin Navy to train like maniacs, darting all over the sea, firing cannons and guns all over the place, sparing no expense just to get their combat skills up to scratch as fast as possible. Meanwhile, New Wanjin City was absolutely buzzing with activity.
It was mainly thanks to Yoshiziro Hirajima and that bunch of ironware masters.
